With a loud shout, Lorraine and Lester took action at the same time. Several of them tore off their black robes, and with murderous intent, they rushed towards the lichs a few meters away like a whirlwind.
When the Lich stopped them a few seconds ago, Lorraine already felt bad and quietly gestured for them to prepare to start.
At this moment, he suddenly took action, and the momentum was as terrifying as the weight of Mount Tai.
Several lichs were completely unprepared, and even Helmut only had a hint of doubt in his heart. Although he felt that there was something unusual about these people, he never thought that they would be enemies.
In Helmut's mind, it was impossible for humans to discover caves hidden under ice sheets several meters thick. He was very confident in the methods of the High Priest of the Undead.
Helmut just felt that these lichs he had never seen before were a bit strange.
Through this, we can see the significant difference between professional soldiers and mages who engage in magic research all year round.
If you are a professional soldier, even if you are behind the scenes, if there is the slightest mistake, you will immediately be vigilant.
The response of the mages in this regard was obviously extremely slow.
When Lorraine and the others tore off their black robes and rushed over, the lichs still had not reacted. Surprised looks flashed in their eyes.
Looking at their appearance, Lorraine couldn't help but think of the innocent children in the kindergarten when they just heard that there was no Santa Claus in the world.
It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
Lester raised his hand and made a move, and immediately a large lightning net woven by mana flew up, making a sizzling sound of electricity. At the same time, it covered all the lichs, leaving them with no way out. retreat.
The other men were as fast as lightning, rushing towards the four lichs on the opposite side from three sides. Their attacks were accurate and ruthless, and they took out the phylacteries of the four lichs and destroyed them with just one move.
Without the support of their phylacteries, the lichs all fell to the ground as if their souls had been sucked out of their bodies.
In less than three seconds, these powerful lichs were completely wiped out, and they didn't even have time to let out a scream.
There was still silence in the canyon. Only the slight sound of Lester's lightning spell "prick, prick, prick" echoed in the empty canyon.
The entire operation did not make too much noise, showing the skill and strength of the people and their tacit cooperation.
At the same time, Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief.
No one knows how many lichs or monsters are hidden in the undead lair, or how far the undead high priest has recovered.
If they alert the people inside, the operation is likely to fail. Even this group of people will all turn into delicious meat buns, and they will never return.
However, fortunately, from what the lich said just now, Lorraine deduced that the situation of these lichs was not optimistic, but that was all.
After confirming that the lichs could no longer die, everyone looked at each other, picked up the robes on the ground, put them on themselves again, then turned around and rushed towards the cave.
At this moment, a hot wind with a pungent smell suddenly blew out from the cave.
The unexpected situation caused Lorraine and the others to stop suddenly and be stunned for a moment.
Lorraine took a breath, frowned and said, "This is the smell of sulfur."
Several people traveling together looked at each other and saw the solemn expressions on each other's faces. Then they all speeded up and ran into the cave.
Only then did Lorraine realize that the cave was so tall and wide that even a huge war fortress could be driven directly in. When you were in it, you could even feel your own insignificance.
The ground and stone walls are smooth and clean, obviously dug manually. Judging from the traces, it is very old, I don't know how many thousand years ago.
But this huge cave was empty, there was nothing.
A few dozen meters further in, even the last glimmer of light disappeared, turning completely into darkness.
Liches are immune to the influence of darkness, but Lorraine and Lester, who are humans, are not.
In order to guard against any enemies hidden in the darkness, Lester hesitated for a moment, then released a flare, suspended above everyone's heads, illuminating a distance of hundreds of meters in front and back of the cave - although this might expose himself, it was better than
His eyes were darkened.
Hot wind with a pungent sulfur smell blows out of the cave every few minutes, and then cold wind pours in from outside the cave, bringing a whining sound like the howling of ghosts and wolves, like the breath of a huge giant.
But whenever the wind stopped, Lorraine could not hear any sound, only the footsteps of people running.
In the silent cave, the sound seemed to be amplified several times, then spread far away, and then generated waves of echoes in the cave.
Those sounds overlapped one another, making them feel indescribably weird and awkward.
After everyone had been moving forward for more than ten minutes, their eyes suddenly narrowed and the cave sloped downwards.
Lorraine stood in front of the slope and observed carefully, and found that the hot wind was blowing up from below, and because the cave suddenly became smaller, the wind down the slope was several times stronger than inside the cave.
The light of the illumination spell seems to be blocked by something invisible, making it difficult to penetrate the darkness inside.
Lorraine thought for a moment, then waved his right hand, and the War Soul Armor appeared on his body, tightly wrapping his whole body. The Lord nodded to everyone and said, "I'll go ahead."
As a master, the war spirit armor on Sir Alex's body has extremely strong defense and can even withstand attacks from the high priest of the undead.
Thinking about it, even if there is an unexpected situation, he can block it and then hold on to the hatred, giving Lester behind him time to take action.
Lorraine slowly stepped onto the slope. As soon as he walked in, his body suddenly stagnated - the air inside was as thick as if it had substance. Lorraine felt as if he had walked into water and was strongly hindered.
At this time, a scorching wind blew out from the depths. When the strong wind hit his face, Lorraine could not even breathe. He had to bend down and arch his legs to resist the push of the strong wind.
Not to mention walking forward, it took a lot of effort to stand firm in the hot wind.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been blown away by the wind.
Even through the Battle Soul Armor, Lorraine could feel the scalding heat, and sweat came out in a flash.
Lester quickly put on a shield to isolate himself from the hot wind, and then whispered to everyone: "This is the effect of the overflow of spells. If it can be so powerful that the magic power becomes substantial, there must be a powerful spellcaster inside.
"
As he said this, he watched with great distress as his beard was rolled up by the hot wind. That big and beautiful beard was Lester's second life.
Lorraine nodded. The so-called powerful spellcaster is nothing more than the High Priest of the Undead~!
At the same time, everyone was a little more cautious: Although the High Priest of the Undead was seriously injured, his magic was leaking out, and he was able to reach such a level. You can only imagine how powerful his strength would be.
Everyone walked slowly along the downward extending cave and entered. Whenever the hot wind blew from the cave, they had to stop and steady themselves to avoid being blown down by the strong wind.
I walked and stopped all the way. I don’t know how long it took. The dark cave seemed to be the road leading to the underworld in mythology. There was no end in sight, and it was getting hotter and hotter inside.
Despite the obstruction of the mana shield, Lester's hot sweat was still dripping down, and when it dripped on the ground, it was instantly evaporated by the hot ground. He couldn't help complaining: "How far have we gone?"
A person behind him replied without thinking: "According to the speed we are traveling, we are already five hundred meters underground."
Lorraine nodded and said: "Coupled with the depth of the canyon under the ice cap, we are now about a thousand meters underground."
"Are we going the wrong way? Or have we fallen into the trap of the High Priest of the Undead?" Someone asked worriedly.
Lester shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The concentration of mana released outside is definitely correct unless there is a large lake full of magic crystals below.
"Keep walking."
Having already arrived here, it was impossible to turn back. Besides, there was only one path in the entire cave, so everyone had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue walking.
Further forward, Lorraine discovered that the ground beneath her feet had begun to soften, the heat in the cave was beginning to become unbearable, and yellow-black sulfur smoke floated in the air. Although it was not fatal, the smell was extremely unpleasant.
At this moment, a dark red light suddenly appeared in front of Lorraine's eyes, which cheered him up and reminded everyone: "There is a situation~!"
Everyone speeded up and rushed towards the dark red place.
A hole with red light suddenly appeared in front of them.
After rushing through the cave entrance, the pressure on Lorraine suddenly relaxed, and they found that what appeared in front of them was a huge lake.
A lake of fire filled with red lava.
The red lava lake is thousands of meters wide. The boiling magma is rolling in the lake, and from time to time, huge waves of magma will be shot up, flying tens of meters into the air.
All the heat in the cave comes from this lava lake, and the scorching air waves distort all the surrounding scenery, making it appear bizarre and strange, like a ghost land.
The scene in front of them shocked Lorraine and the others. They had imagined various situations, including an underground palace full of undead creatures.
A maze filled with poison and dripping with acid rain, or a fortress made of piles of bones.
Everyone is even prepared to deal with endless dark creatures and fight a hard and protracted battle.
I just didn't expect that in the last lair of the undead, there would be a magma lake full of fire.
"What is that?" sharp-eyed Vera pointed her finger into the lava lake and shouted in a low voice.
Following the direction she pointed, Lorraine squinted her eyes and looked over. She saw the hot magma emitting bubbles, and a huge white hemisphere floated up from the magma.
Lorraine frowned and observed carefully for a moment, then said in surprise: "That... is that a cocoon?"
The hemisphere was huge, with traces of white silk threads on its surface, looking like a cocoon magnified countless times.
Immediately afterwards, a dozen more identical white cocoon-shaped objects appeared around them. They kept rolling in the magma lake and quickly moved up to the rocks on the shore.
The huge cocoon shook slightly, and a rustling sound came from inside.
Everyone increased their vigilance and faced them with weapons drawn.
Then the top of the cocoon suddenly cracked and was torn into several pieces in an instant.
As the green mucus spurted out, a group of black bugs crawled out of it.
There are centipedes up to two meters long and as thick as a bucket, and large translucent maggot-like bugs with round heads and mouths full of sharp teeth. Lorraine has seen such things before, and they are so small.
Cave Crawler No. 1.
In addition, there are flying insects that look like mosquitoes but are larger than eagles.
More than a dozen white cocoon bags were torn apart one after another, and countless insects crawled out, hissing and roaring, and surrounded everyone.
Lorraine raised the muzzle of the gun without hesitation, and then pulled the trigger hard.
"Thud, tug, tug..." Accompanied by the crisp sound of gunfire, bright flames spurted out from the muzzle of the gun.
Bullets rained down on the rushing insects. A green liquid splashed out from the crowd of insects, and the one at the front instantly fell to the ground.
Lester glanced at Sir Luo with disdain, then raised his hand and threw a chain lightning over him.
The light blue electric arc flew back and forth among the insects like a spiritual snake. Wherever it went, the insects emitted black smoke, and their limbs twitched and fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, all the insects that climbed to the shore were electrocuted.
Uncle Lester snorted coldly, then put his hands behind his back and stood proudly on the shore, showing the peerless style of a generation of martial arts masters.
Another person next to him stepped forward, briefly inspected the corpses on the ground, and then said: "Cave grabbing monster, macrophage, scar-faced poisonous wasp, and iron leaf centipede...
Good guys, all the main guards of the Dra Zerg clan are here."
"Damn it, here we go again~!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone next to him exclaim in surprise.
Everyone hurriedly looked up and suddenly took a breath of air.
I saw more giant cocoons emerging from the gushing lava lake, hundreds of them, slowly floating towards the shore in the red magma.
Immediately, various monsters tore open their cocoons, climbed out of them, and quickly rushed towards the people of Lorraine.
It's just that although there are many of these monsters, they are not taken seriously by everyone. Various spells are thrown at them in turn, destroying them on the road.
Taking advantage of the gap in the attack, Lord Lorraine asked curiously: "What exactly is the Dra Zerg?"
One of them sneered and said: "They are not something, but a collective name for many kinds of monsters. They are extremely aggressive and were first developed as weapons."
"Development?" Lord Lorraine wondered what this development meant.
"They are not naturally occurring, but are artificially created as weapons to invade others."
Lord Lorraine couldn't help but hesitated for a moment. He secretly sighed in his heart. Being able to create something like the cave grabbing monster is top-notch biotechnology and high technology~!
He asked like a curious baby: "Who made them?"
A sneer came from the side, saying: "Who else could it be, the Demon King of the Abyss?"
Lorraine nodded slightly. Vera's childhood textbook, "Fabre's Diary of Demonic Insects", clearly described various monsters including cave crawlers. It said very clearly that they were all creatures of the demonic world.
Huge cocoons were still pouring out of the lava lake. Before Lorraine and the others could clean up these monsters, the next batch had already crawled out.
And the monsters crawling out of the cocoon are getting weirder and weirder, and there are some things that Lorraine has never seen before.
For example, there is a monster flowing on the ground like a puddle of mud. It has a twisted and terrifying appearance, four crooked legs on its head, and a dog-like monster with a mouth full of sharp teeth.
There were even humanoid monsters with reverse joints, walking upright, and a black sheep's head on their head. They rushed towards Lorraine and others who broke into the underground lake.
"There must be a passage to the devil world at the bottom of the magma lake."
Lord Lorraine nodded in agreement, inferring from the scene in front of him that the death knell beetles in the wasteland should have come from the bottom of the magma lake like the one in front of him.
As for what is at the bottom of the magma lake, Lorraine and his team are still unable to detect it with their abilities.
More and more monsters emerged from the bottom of the magma lake, and soon occupied the entire open space of the cave, forcing Lorraine and Lester to retreat continuously, and then retreated to the vicinity of the cave entrance.
Lorraine finished playing drums one after another and said anxiously: "This is not the way to go."
"Hold on, give me a few minutes." A person behind him said calmly, and then recited an obscure and difficult-to-pronounce incantation.
As the monsters got bigger and stronger, bullets had little effect on them. Lorraine threw down his submachine gun, turned his palm over, and the dazzling Soul Sword appeared in his hand, and rushed towards the monster.
Suddenly seeing the bright light of the Battle Soul Sword, the monster that was charging forward seemed to be timid and retreated back, but then it rushed forward more ferociously.
A dozen of them formed an arc-shaped defense line in front of the cave entrance to block the monster's impact. Lester and several mages kept casting spells behind the defense line to eliminate the enemy's vitality.
A vortex of mana slowly formed above everyone's heads, and then spread rapidly to the magma lake.
The hot and unbearable temperature in the cave suddenly dropped a lot, and the red and shiny color of the magma also dimmed.
This was just the beginning. As the mana vortex became clearer and clearer, the temperature in the cave dropped rapidly. Soon the heat disappeared, and Lorraine could already feel the chill.
A low voice came from behind Lorraine: "Bingfeng~!"
A large piece of ice and snow suddenly appeared, freezing the entire cave. The ground, cave walls, and roof were all covered with a layer of ice several times thick.
Including the monsters in front of Lorraine, they were also frozen in pieces of bluish ice, maintaining their last movements.
The magma lake in front of us suddenly darkened, and the originally red lake surface quickly turned black. Under the attack of low temperature, the magma solidified into stone again.
The red light of the magma disappeared, and the cave suddenly became dark, turning from extremely hot to extremely cold in an instant.
The mage who had just released the spell of pouring over the frozen earth walked out from behind the crowd, looked at his victory with satisfaction, smiled, snapped his fingers, and made a soft sound of "Pa~!"
The monster frozen in the ice instantly shattered into millions of tiny ice shards, piling up a thick layer on the ground.
The mage then stepped onto the newly cooled magma lake and walked towards the center of the lake.
Suddenly from the center of the lake, there was a loud "click" sound of rock cracking, and a black shadow rushed out from the ground frozen into rock, bringing up debris flying all over the sky.
Behind the rubble, the emaciated figures of the High Priest of the Undead, Kalimdor and Beatrice were revealed. (To be continued.)
